Welcome to California Pain Medicine!

 Dr. Christopher Amsden and his staff have practiced conservative and interventional pain medicine since 1991 in Modesto, located in California’s great Central Valley. This website seeks to better aid our Modesto area patients, as well as those near our new Southern California South Bay locations in San Pedro and Gardena. We hope to ease your approach to your pain problems, and the associated problem of obtaining appropriate treatment. Please explore our website, and if desired send us constructive feedback towards our further development, and thereby improve our service back to you.
